It looks like we are going to rewrite and erase all of our history to appease all of these snowflake liberals that are offended by everything in this country. I am glad I got to live in this country before all of this BS the liberals have caused. At least i know what a great country it was.
This country has deep roots in racism. Whites were particularly racist concerning the indigenous Americans.
All the BS lies with the barabaric tactics used in the calculated genocidal elimination of the indigenous American.
At this point, we should dissolve all reservations, provide all Americans with either an Associate's Degree or a Bachelor's Degree, and relocate each individual indigenous American to an urban area where they would most feel comfortable.
The Era of reservations should be ended immediately!
Allow the statues to remain standing where they are and let the indigenous American people write their inscriptive narrative about their individual existence for the public to view for many future generations to come....
When the French arrived at Detroit to engage in fur trading, the constant conflicts between the various Native American groups who raided each other's territories for the purpose of gaining slaves caused so much interference for the French, the French had to step in on several occasions to settle the matter between the various Native American groups.
The largest massacre site on Earth is located in a 30 acre region between Fort Smith, Arkansas and Hot Springs, Arkansas. Archaeologists from Washington University (St Louis) and the University of Arkansas uncovered the remains of more than 100,000 dead, approximately 2,000 to 3,000 dead per acre.
It was the site of the last stand for the Hopewell People. Attacked by numerous tribes of Plains Indians, the Hopewell were eliminated from Earth in a genocidal frenzy.
If you want to see a classic example of the Welfare State, go to any Reservation.
So what's your proposed ingenious solution?
Polish 'em off, perhaps....
They were once a thriving and independent people.
We deprived them of both their land and livelihoods.
And now we find it convenient to castigate and denigrate them for their current condition.
That's like repeatedly smearing cow dung upon someone and moments later, complaining about their intolerable stench!

We???? We???? Maybe you, but I wasn't around then. You must be REALLY old. Anyway, they were a Stone Age culture that was replaced by advanced technology, and an advanced society. Happened all over the world throughout history, and they did it to their own all the time. Get over it.

Who is advocating that? Are we off our meds again, or just making things up as usual?
"Chicano"....kind of raises a red flag doesn't it?
Ya I kind of came out of left field with that comment. My mistake.
Anyway, name was chosen at random because that was my old XBox gamertag. I joined this forum because I was interested in cities and Architecture. Now I'm reading threads on politics.

Yes, WE!
Our forefathers are us, as much as my children are us. If I've wronged your family, I would expect my relatives to square things with either you or your family members, if what I've done has affected them, as well.
For example, if I've stolen your life savings and created a hardship upon you, but I then abruptly pass away, I remain indebted to you and my estate owes you the money I've stolen.
The slate isn't simply wiped clean, due to a passage of time. That's especially so, if I've caused your family to also suffer hardship.
So what is your thinking..."So I screwed you! Get over it already!"...Is that your thinking?
Have a beer and get over it. The man was the President of the United States and accomplished great things, your mealy mouthed guilt-history lesson withstanding.
This statement reflects a very serious absence of conscience. A required property of the civilized...

Chicano is a word used to describe an American of Mexican roots.
